      Oh boy that formula was *very* broken - I'd assumed each game needed its own pieces, so that the Game Pieces level would allow you to play everything simultaneously. It also assumed equal piece cost for each game. However, the +1 game and get the pieces instead offer is a great compromise!

      How's that Geek List coming? :)

      Oh, wow. We completely overlooked posting our own Geek List! Thank you, with any luck we'll have it posted tonight.
      In order to play every game simultaneously, it would take a whopping 12 boards, 251 stones, 15 lots and 2 dice! Your formula is an excellent way to break that down, it's just the implementation that may not work.
      If you have any other suggestions, please let us know!

      You can add a collection to BGG as a Geek List.

      You've done all the donkey work - adding Bibelot Games and your game versions and images to the BGG database. Just create the Geek List and use your images and text. This would allow people to comment on the individual games and on the collection as a whole.

      Sorry about the formula. It was -very- late. The only thing it - could - do is produce an ordering nightmare for you guys :/ I hadn't thought about it in those terms.

      Simon - Thank you for the insightful comments! *smiles*

      We've made the attempt to get the Reliquary Collection listed on Board Game Geek, but were denied on the grounds that it is not a single game. We understand that reasoning, but if anyone knows a work-around for anthologies or collections sold as a set, we would love to hear about it! An ad campaign is probably out of our budget, but we will definitely look into it, as well as how to hold a competition on the site.

      The formula you came up with for extra pieces is awesome, we're just not sure how to implement it on Kickstarter without creating an order-tracking nightmare on our end. Until we figure it out, we're offering to substitute a large set of game pieces in place of a game at the One Game + level. See our FAQs for more details.

      As far as getting all 12 games, YES! By backing at the One Game + level and adding enough to cover 11 additional games, you can get them all for less than the Full Collection - Limited Edition. There are pros and cons to each method; I'm sure you'll choose the one that fits you best! *smiles*
      More LASERS! We always need more lasers!! Unfortunately, that's all the footage we have from the prototype production process (turns out you need to stop being awe-struck for long enough to press the "record" button *smiles*). Once the project is complete, we're more than happy to post as many LASER! videos as you can stand! (Hmm.. Maybe we can set up a live-feed? Hmm...)

      We'll try to "remaster" the laser clips to make each new video end on something unique! *smiles*

      Awesome post! We hope we covered it all; please let us know if we missed anything! We'll start looking into your suggestions ASAP! *smiles* Thank you! (and thanks for backing our project!!! Yay!)

      I found your project via a casual comment on the Rithmachia project. I'm pretty sure that this would be very popular (and I mean make-your-goal-in-24-hrs popular) over on Board Game Geek.

      www.boardgamegeek.com

      I already posted to the Print and Play guild there, so expect a rash of $5 orders, but I think a short ad campaign (and maybe a competition) would offer a huge boost to your pledge total.

      I'm pledging a low level now to get my foot in the door and get the updates, but I intend to increase it next month when can see how my finances are panning out.

      I'd love an International level that mixed the $30 and $50 levels:
      $50 + n x $40 + (11 - n) * $2.50
      This would deliver n+1 full games and the other (11 - n) games' game pieces ( + the .pdfs of course).
      e.g. n=1 --> $115 dollars ($50 + $40 + $25) would buy 2 full games and the pieces for the remaining 10.

      Also, does the $50 level allow me to get all 12 games for $490? The custom box is _very_ nice, but I'm not sure it's $110 nice (although I accept that $110 might be how much it costs to produce and ship).

      *Oh - FWIW I think every video update needs L.A.S.E.R.s at the end. Please show the complete etching and cutting of a board (and the pieces where appropriate). With one per video from now on, by the end of the project we might even get to see them all. :)
